There's a family farm on my dads side of the family and my cousin who is now running the farm said one of the issues he's running into now and what will probably cause the farm to fold is a lot of the land he farms is rented from millionaires in Britain and has been for a century. Now all those millionaires are dying off and their kids are selling the land instead of continuing to rent it and they simply can't afford 1.5 million for a plot that only generates 30k of revenue a year.

And we let that carry on because telling people what to grow is communist and communism is bad, and china's radical growth and american crops are 100% stable and nothing will ever happen to them.

Risky Bisquick posted:Albino Squirrel, how badly will Morneau poop on your GP practice? Your marginal rate is going to the moon Currently, I restrict my income to what my family needs and save the rest. I think the elimination of income splitting is happening no matter what, so that would slightly increase my taxes. The big deal is the increase in capital gains taxes which renders the Corp useless as an investment vehicle. If I had to take all my income up front rather than using the Corp as a quasi-RRSP, that would cost me a few dozen extra thousand in tax. It will not ruin my life. Many of my colleagues are acting like it will ruin them, but the only case in which I can see that is if you spend the vast majority of your income on staff. (In my case my clinic pays for them.) People are talking about maybe going to Australia or new Zealand, but the two largest Anglophone countries in the world are clusterfucks both Healthcare and otherwise so I don't see a huge brain drain happening. I may have to wind up the corporation and pay myself several years of accumulated income, so, uh, I guess I'm getting the plug-in Volvo.

Powershift posted:A lot of the problem is that even people who would want to farm, that would want a little bit of land to sustain themselves on, can't afford it. Where were you getting land for $125 an acre? My dad got a half section of lovely, hilly grassland in very rural Saskatchewan for $600/acre in 2003 and I can't imagine what land worth one fifth that would even look like. You're right that land is going up, but I think the bigger issue in the death of family farms is that input costs are up and profit margins are down for traditional farming. Couple that with the loss of the Wheat Board and other programs to help level off fluctuations in grain prices and it becomes hard to make a living. The only option is to go bigger or go way smaller and do intensive value-added farming. Farmers have gotten pretty used to working 18 hour days during seeding and harvesting and then loving off to Phoenix for the rest of the year and aren't particularly interested in doing any type of farming that changes that. Our 2.5 section farm was perfectly average in the early 80s, but it was one of the smallest farms around by the time my parents retired. The real answer to the death of rural areas is to take a lesson from Hutterites and collectivize farming.

Take no lessons from Hutterites b/c gently caress Hutterites E: land goes for about 3K an acre and rising around here, it pretty much locks newcomers out, don't know why anyone would want to get into it anyways, why yes I want to gently caress off from doing anything with other non-rural people forever TheKingofSprings fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Sep 9, 2017 |

I'll try to dig it up, it's been a while since i looked it up, but it was in a north battleford newspaper from 2002. The average in saskatchewan at that point was around $450/acre in 2016 dollars. around $350/acre in 2002 money.

namaste faggots posted:and this here is why there is no effective labour movement in canada My workplace has been talking about decertifying our union because people are all pissed off that a similar agency one town over makes like 2$ more per hour and they think that union will be 'better' We just renegotiated our CBA in May and as far as I can tell not one person was willing to take a hardline stance with our current union and I talked to our negotiators and it sounds like they pretty much just took managements offer cause there was zero support for strike action throughout the agency. But I'm sure giving up all our bargained rights and protections against management is a good idea because we might be able to join up another union and then they might maybe be able to make an extra 2 bucks! Nobody could explain to me why they think that management would give in and raise incomes just because of a union switch if we still refused to strike.

RBC posted:In this specific case the employer has organized their workplace such that the employees are basically incapable of fighting back, by using shell temp agencies and removing the paper trail of employement. It would be up to an effective outside campaign to improve these workers conditions by bringing pressure to the government to take action and mobilizing unions like ufcw. That hopefully will occur now with some good investigative journalism. It was telling that in that article one of the former employees who got permanent status and organize a union was fired and the union fell apart. Glad that article is getting attention here, it's some excellent reporting.

Becoming Speaker is much different from crossing the floor. Plecas is making the parliament work, not changing his sides within it.

Scheer has one of those weak chins that you'd normally only get in a North Korean or Syrian style dictatorship where the leader is just the son of the previous strongman.

Practically the only advantage of living in an elected democracy these days is having more fuckable politicians. Scheer would be bucking that trend.
